StableLM-7B
Stability AI's first open language model, a 7B alpha trained on 1.5T tokens.
About
StableLM-7B is the 7-billion-parameter alpha model that marked Stability AI's entry into language models in April 2023. Trained on a new experimental dataset built on the Pile but three times larger at 1.5 trillion tokens, it shipped alongside a 3B sibling with larger sizes planned.
The base weights were released under CC BY-SA-4.0, a copyleft license that requires share-alike on derivatives, which is worth noting for commercial plans. Stability AI also released RLHF-tuned research variants. While quickly surpassed by later open models, StableLM-7B remains a notable early attempt at an open ChatGPT-class alternative from the Stable Diffusion maker.
